Excerpt from Wild Sports in the South: Or, of the Camp-Fires of the Everglades The larger portion of the Sketches contained in this volume were contributions made by the Author to The Spirit of the Times, a few years ago, under the title of Camp-Fire Stories, and as some of them have been floating about in other papers, this statement seems necessary, lest the reader may regard these twice-told tales as lacking in originality. Nothing more is claimed for this volume than that it contains pleasant reminiscences of hunting life and adventure in the peninsula of Florida, and counterparts of tales, some of them remembered, some of them fancied, that frontier hunters tell when assembled at night around their camp-fires. The Author does not ask that each story shall be regarded as having occurred literally as written; but he believes the spirit of the tales, the description of natural scenery, and the fragments of Indian history to be correct, and he has carefully striven not to offend the keen observation and long experience of his hunting comrades at the South whose eyes will scrutinize these pages, by any allusion to natural history which is not exactly true. If the book will recall the Author pleasantly to their minds, or awaken the remembrance of grand old sports and merry camp-fires in the States of the South, its object is attained.
